What was I thinking?!

I bought a new 55G long tank at the Petsmart over the weekend (those sales!!) and now I can’t figure out how to get it into my house (I used curbside pickup) and I’m afraid the table where I planned to put it isn’t strong enough.

Do any of you have a recommendation for where I can get a base strong enough to hold it and how I can get it into my house?


Thanks!

A 55-gallon tank is large enough that I would be hesitant to put it onto anything other than an actual aquarium stand (or rack). Getting a stand is definitely the right call -- I don't think most tables would support it, or at the very least, they are unlikely to support it well enough to avoid damaging it in the long run.
